Eva Mendez: Stuck on Eva 2007-10-04 07:10:00 Eva Mendes didn't set out to be an actress. In fact, the Houston-born Cuban-American beauty reportedly took her first feature-film gig to make some extra cash between semesters as a marketing major at Cal State University, Northridge. But all that changed when an agent spotted her picture at a photographer friend's house. Over the last few years Mendes has become one of the hardest-working Latinas in show business, going from appearances in videos by Will Smith and Aerosmith to sizable roles in "Training Day," "2 Fast 2 Furious," and "Out of Time." "I don't see myself as a Latin or Hispanic actress," she once told the press. "I see myself as an actress, then I happen to be Latin, and I happen to be a woman. ... But I feel I'll take on the responsibility of showing the world a whole different kind of Latin woman."Mendes was born in Miami, Florida to "lower-middle-class" Cuban-American parents and was raised in Los Angeles by her mother after her parents' divorce; Mendes has said th Read more:Stuck
Roselyn Sanchez: Beauty Queen on the Silver Screen 2007-10-04 07:01:00 What a decade it's been for Roselyn Sanchez
. Though the former Ms. America Petite had already made a brief appearance in the 1992 comedy "Captain Ron" before she won her title, the Latin lovely had no idea at the time what Hollywood had in store for her. After appearing in ill-fated series like "Fame L.A." and "Holden Caulfield: Year One," the big screen beckoned once again and Sanchez made her unforgettable breakthrough as Isabella Molinia in 2001's "Rush Hour 2." Not bad for a girl from San Juan, Puerto Rico. "I trained for many years, singing, dancing, and acting, and then started doing TV, little things here and there," she recently told About.com. "Even though the stuff I'm doing right now is relatively easy, I think in the future I would love to play things that have nothing to do with me, and that's good."Roselyn is the youngest of four siblings, having three older brothers. She received her primary education in San Juan. At a young age, she showed an interest in both dancin Read more:Beauty

Penelope Cruz: The Spanish Enchantress 2007-10-04 06:58:00 It's too bad that actress Penelope
Cruz's career has been overshadowed lately by her relationship with that other famous Cruise, actor-boyfriend Tom. The "Madonna of Madrid" was already well on her way to stardom before the well-covered liaison began, with a list of over two dozen movie roles spanning many countries and including everything from a 1999 Spanish
version of "Don Juan" to her first domestic leading-lady turn in 2000's "Woman on Top." However, the sexy 29-year-old actress has not only quickly gotten used to the spotlight, but she also takes extra care to insure that the glitz doesn't interfere with her career. "The thing that really makes me happy is the real work and rehearsing and creating the character and the process of making the movie," she told the U.K.'s Tivoli entertainment recently. "Hollywood's not real. It's about what you have become, rather than who you really are."(source: Netscape) Read more:Penelope Cruz
Actress Constance Marie Launches New Clothing Line 2007-10-09 22:47:00 Growing up in an artistic household, actress ConstanceMarie
(the George Lopez show) always had to enhance the little she had to create a fabulous look. "I didn't grow up with a lot of money," she says. "But as an adult, I have been fortunate to wear the very best in clothing and I wanted all women, Latin women in particular, to experience the same thing." Enter the Constance Marie Collection, which launched in 147 Mervyn's department stores throughout the West and Southwest on Friday. With a collection that offers chic on the cheap (think low-rise jeans that provide the perfect posterior cover-up and still make you look sexy; sweaters; skirts and flirty tops in rich jewel-shade tones), she's set to bring a little sabor to the ready-to-wear world. But more than another celebrity-turned-designer, this line has a purpose. Five percent of the proceeds go toward b.i.y.a.y.c.d.a., a local charity in California, which supports children's aspirations. Here, in our exclusive interview, Con Read more:Clothing

Michelle Rodriguez: Copping an Attitude 2007-10-06 09:38:00 Sure, she's tough--she's proven it repeatedly in the last 4 years, starting with her breakthrough role in the 2000 indie gem "Girlfight," and continuing with the surprise 2001 blockbuster "The Fast and the Furious," last summer's "Blue Crush," and the new police flick "S.W.A.T." But despite her reputation as a strong-willed and tenacious Hispanic woman, MichelleRodriguez
hopes to transcend her cultural origins to present a bigger picture. "Spanish people need to start writing better roles for themselves, not just roles touching on racism," she once told Interview. "We've seen those films already. We have to get past that and write films about life." In the meantime, Rodriguez is proud of what she's accomplished on-screen as an independent-minded female. "If you don't feel like playing with Barbie dolls, then don't," she says. "If you like hanging out with guys more than you like hanging out with girls, then do."when she was 11, later settling in Rodríguez was born in San Anton Read more:Michelle Rodriguez
Salma Hayek 2007-10-06 09:24:00 She's the most successful Mexican actresses to grace the modern screen, with over two dozen film appearances since her 1995 breakthrough in Robert Rodriguez's "Desperado." And with her role as artist Frida Kahlo in last year's "Frida," Hayek
brought the work of an important cultural figure to a whole new audience. Though the film took nearly a decade to come to fruition and marked an epochal moment for the actress, she doesn't worry about how she can top herself. "You have a dream and think about it, you involve other people in the dream so that it becomes better, and then when it's done you put it aside and have the courage to dream a new one," she told View London. "I am not going to compare anything else with this. I will just enjoy whatever it is. That is one lesson I learned from Se?ora Frida Kahlo."An Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated Mexican/American actress, Daytime Emmy-winning director, and an Emmy-nominated tv and film producer. Hayek has appeared in more t Read more:Salma Hayek
